Features: Based on the teaching requirements of medical undergraduate courses and the primary goal of cultivating clinical physicians, this book focuses on introducing clinical nuclear medicine. The book consists of 13 chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the fundamentals of nuclear medicine, including general principles, nuclear physics, biological effects of ionizing radiation, and radiation protection. Chapters 3 to 13 are the core of the book, covering the principles, diagnostic key points, application value, and radionuclide therapy of commonly used in vivo and in vitro nuclear medicine examinations. To help students better understand and comprehensively master the knowledge of nuclear medicine, the latest advancements and cutting-edge content in the field of nuclear medicine, particularly molecular nuclear medicine, have been incorporated into relevant chapters. One of the features of this book is the addition of chapters on tumor nuclear medicine and inflammation, as well as the inclusion of new technologies and therapies such as radionuclide particle implantation in the radionuclide therapy chapter. Outdated and impractical content has been removed, truly reflecting the spirit of keeping pace with the times. Another feature is the addition of objective comparisons with relevant medical imaging examinations, in vitro non-radioactive analysis techniques, and other treatment methods in chapters on radionuclide imaging and functional testing, in vitro radioanalytical methods, and radionuclide therapy. A third feature is the inclusion of 133 selected illustrations and 16 tables, making the book rich in visuals to facilitate students' understanding of the teaching content and enhance their ability to recognize nuclear medicine images of various diseases. A fourth feature is the inclusion of nearly 300 English professional terms to help students master specialized vocabulary, improve their professional English proficiency, and stimulate their learning interest and further development. The book also includes a bilingual (Chinese-English) glossary of professional terms at the end and a list of recommended reference books for students to read.
